Chapter 888: Chapter 570: Seven-Star Sword Formation, Sword Transforming All Methods and Sword Breaking All Methods (Part 2)

The reason is simple: the inscription on this mountain peak, containing the legacy of the "Seven-Star Sword Formation," is actually incomplete.

Back then, when "Seven-Star Master" engraved the three large characters of "Tianshu City," it was merely out of a momentary inspiration.

With his heart and spirit in turmoil, he couldn’t help but imprint the Sword Intent of the "Seven-Star Sword Formation" he had just comprehended into it.

But he didn’t truly intend to leave his proud cultivation technique within the characters.

Therefore, the inscription only contains the Sword Dao essence, without the actual cultivation technique legacy.

If it weren’t for Lu Qing possessing an extraordinary superpower, which could manifest the time and space of tens of thousands of years ago,

allowing him to experience the complete process of displaying the Seven-Star Sword Intent through the body of the "Seven-Star Master,"

he likewise would be unable to gain the legacy of the "Seven-Star Sword Formation."

Even the "Seven-Star Sword Intent" alone is not simple; it is an extremely powerful Sword Intent, formed by blending seven types of Sword Intents.

To cultivate the "Seven-Star Sword Intent," one must first comprehend those seven basic Sword Intents and then use unique spells to completely fuse them.

Without a specific cultivation method, directly comprehending the "Seven-Star Sword Intent" is absolutely impossible.

This is also the true reason why, for tens of thousands of years, no one has been able to truly comprehend the Sword Dao essence within the inscription.

Otherwise, concerning the legacy left by their ancestor, why would Tianshu City so generously allow cultivators from the world to come and comprehend it?

They knew that the inscription did not contain a specific cultivation method.

No matter how much others comprehend, it is impossible for them to truly grasp the "Seven-Star Sword Intent."

As Lu Qing’s thoughts fluctuated, he noticed Shen Cangfeng, who had been comprehending with closed eyes, suddenly furrow his brows.

The Sword Intent on his body, almost becoming substantial, abruptly dissipated, and he then opened his eyes.

He then let out a long sigh.

"Brother Shen, what’s wrong?"

Ba Tian was startled and quickly asked.

Others also looked puzzled.

"What a pity." Shen Cangfeng shook his head.

"What pity?"

"The Sword Dao essence within the inscription is lacking, not a complete Sword Intent legacy," Shen Cangfeng slowly said.

"Is that so?" Ba Tian was quite surprised, "So does that mean the rumors for tens of thousands of years are false?"

"Not entirely false," Shen Cangfeng replied, "The Sword Dao essence within the inscription is indeed unfathomable.

If an ordinary cultivator in the Golden Core Realm gains even a slight hint of its charm, their Sword Dao cultivation will certainly soar.

Judging from this alone, saying it contains profound Sword Dao legacy isn’t entirely wrong.

Just unfortunately, a flawed Primordial Spirit Realm legacy doesn’t serve me much use."

The regret on Shen Cangfeng’s face was hard to conceal.

He could feel that the Sword Dao legacy within the inscription was exceptional, very useful to him.

If he could acquire the complete cultivation technique legacy, his Sword Dao cultivation would surely advance by leaps and bounds.

The pity is that it’s incomplete; there’s only one Sword Dao essence, but no corresponding cultivation method.

Even if he forcibly mimicked and refined it with his Sword Dao talent, it would only be a mere form without its essence.

"To think that the rumor circulating for tens of thousands of years turns out like this—it truly is disappointing."

Having heard Shen Cangfeng’s explanation, Ba Tian shook his head, feeling disappointed.

He initially thought he could witness Brother Shen comprehending the Sword Dao legacy that no one had been able to decipher for tens of thousands of years.

But unexpectedly, this was the outcome they received.

"Actually, I had suspected it long ago." Shen Cangfeng sighed, "Over tens of thousands of years, there have been countless cultivators passing through Tianshu City.

Among them, there must be geniuses no less than us, and undoubtedly, many Primordial Spirit Great Powers.

If the inscription truly contained a complete legacy of the Five Tribulations Great Power, it would have surely been comprehended by someone long ago."

"I suppose that’s true." Ba Tian nodded, "We were misled by the rumors. Brother Shen, in that case, should we leave now?"

"Let’s go, my junior’s teacher-uncle just sent a message yesterday, urging me to meet them quickly, so there’s no need to delay."

"Then let’s go."

Ba Tian raised his hand and summoned that huge Flying Boat.

The members of the Overlord Clan entered the Flying Boat one after another, and finally, Ba Tian and Shen Cangfeng flew into it.

In the next moment, the Flying Boat activated, unleashing powerful energy, vanishing from sight in an instant.

From beginning to end, Ba Tian and Shen Cangfeng regarded the other people present as if they were invisible and had no intention of looking at them even once.

Only after confirming that the Overlord Clan had truly left did a tumult break out on the platform.

They heard the conversation between Ba Tian and Shen Cangfeng completely.

The rumored Sword Dao legacy within the "Tianshu City" inscription turned out to be false?

"How can it be false? Then what is the point of my years of hard comprehension?"

A cultivator looked lost and was unable to believe the truth he had just heard.

"I knew the rumor had to be false; otherwise, how could Tianshu City be so generous, letting such a great opportunity remain open for us to comprehend!"

Another cultivator shouted in indignation.

"Who said it’s false? Didn’t you hear what the Heavenly Sword Sect disciple just said? He only said the internal legacy is flawed, not that the Sword Dao essence is false."

"How can it be false? If that’s the case, would the insights gained by those strong individuals from the inscription over the years be false too?"

"Exactly, at least after years of comprehension, my Sword Dao cultivation has indeed strengthened, advancing from the Golden Core Third Turn to the Fourth Turn!"

...

The cultivators on the platform were fiercely debating.

The disciples of the Qiankun Sect were also whispering among themselves.

"Senior Sister Ye, you’re the one with the highest cultivation here and are proficient in Sword Dao. Is the Sword Dao essence within this inscription truly flawed?"

Chu Xiaoqing asked with wide eyes.

"How could I possibly confirm that?" Senior Sister Ye laughed bitterly, "I only comprehended for a while, and I just felt the Sword Dao essence within the inscription was unfathomable and exceptionally mysterious.

Even grasping a bit of true meaning is extremely difficult; how could I possibly discern whether it’s complete or flawed?"

"Does that mean Shen Cangfeng’s words aren’t necessarily true?" Zixiao contemplated, "Perhaps he’s already comprehended the true essence of the inscription but doesn’t want others to comprehend it, thus intentionally saying so."

"Very possible!" Chu Xiaoqing immediately nodded in agreement, "Although Shen Cangfeng appears virtuous, I always found him to be very scheming!

When Ba Tian asked people to leave earlier, he might have said it wasn’t necessary, but his actions showed he sat quicker than anyone else!"

"Exactly, over the years, countless people have comprehended this inscription, and I haven’t seen anyone point out any issues!"

Another disciple of the Qiankun Sect agreed.

Standing aside, Lu Qing overheard their conversation and couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh.

He suddenly said, "Why be so fixated? Regardless of whether the Sword Dao essence within the inscription is complete or flawed,

as long as it benefits your cultivation, that’s enough.

The way of cultivation itself is about balancing excess and deficiency.

It requires constantly comprehending the universe and sharpening oneself.

As long as you can gain insight from it, what does it matter if it’s complete or incomplete."

The few disciples of the Qiankun Sect were taken aback by these words, but then they felt touched.

They quickly responded.

"Brother Chen, you’re awake?" Chu Xiaoqing said happily.

"Yes, I just woke up and heard your discussion." Lu Qing nodded slightly.

"Brother Chen, did you comprehend the Sword Dao essence within the inscription?"

Chu Xiaoqing’s eyes were full of anticipation.

Others were also looking at Lu Qing.

They had experienced Lu Qing’s Sword Dao cultivation profoundly.

Even someone as strong as Li Motian, who fell into the Demon Path, was easily slain by him with a single Sword Point.

His Sword Dao cultivation was inscrutable, even if not quite like Shen Cangfeng’s, certainly not far off.

So they were very eager to hear his response.

"Certainly not," Lu Qing chuckled and shook his head, "Even the esteemed disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect couldn’t comprehend it; how could I have such talent."
